David and Goliath - Story Summary:
The Philistine army had gathered for war against Israel.
A Philistine giant measuring over nine feet tall and
wearing came out each day for forty days,
mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. His
name was Goliath. , the King of Israel, and the
whole army were terrified of Goliath.
One day , the youngest son of Jesse, was sent to
the battle lines by his father to bring back news of his
brothers. David was probably just a young teenager at
the time. While there, David heard Goliath shouting
his daily defiance and he saw the great fear stirred
within the men of Israel. David responded, "Who is this
uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the
1 Samuel
full armor
Saul
David
armies of God?”
So David volunteered to fight Goliath. It took some
persuasion, but King Saul finally agreed to let David
fight against the giant.
The giant cursed at him, hurling threats and insults.
David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with
sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in
the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies
of Israel, whom you have defied ... today I will give the
carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air ...
and the whole world will know that there is a God in
Israel.
As Goliath moved in for the kill, David reached into his
bag and slung one of his stones at Goliath's head.
Finding a hole in the armor, the stone sank into the
giant's forehead and he fell face down on the ground.
David then took Goliath's sword, killed him and then
cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their
hero was dead, they turned and ran.
Points of Interest from the David and Goliath Story: David's faith in God caused him to look at the giant
from a different perspective. David looked at the
battle from God's point view.
When the giant criticized, insulted and threatened,
David didn't stop or even waver. Everyone else
cowered in fear, but David ran to the battle. He knew
that action needed to be taken. David did the right
thing in spite of discouraging insults and fearful
threats. Only God's opinion mattered to David .
Questions for Reflection:
We are facing a giant problem of human trafficking
which seems impossible to us. Stop for a minute and
refocus. Can you see the situation more clearly from
God's vantage point?
Do we need to take courageous action in the face of
Do you trust that God will fight for you and with you?
Remember, God's opinion is the only one that matters.
MORAL OF THE STORY
If we study the story carefully we will clearly see that
Human Trafficking is equal to Goliath “The Giant” and
the Anti Human Trafficking program of Diocese of
Durgapur is like “David” the one who believed in
“GOD” and never doubted the power of the creator.
Goliath did not challenge David personally but it was
David who could not bear the insult of his lord and his
fellow men by Goliath. No one in this world asked
David to fight with Goliath rather they doubted and
underestimated him.
Diocese of Durgapur under the Good guidance of The
Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Dr. Probal Kanto Dutta has taken
the proper measures by giving shape to the noble
thought to fight and Curb Human Trafficking through
the formation ANTI HUMAN TRAFFICKING PROGRAM.
This program has walked down the death-valley of
human trafficking for a fairly nascent period of three
years and has already created milestones along the
way, with the sole purpose of glorifying the name of
the Almighty.
Human trafficking has many faces; it's our humble
request to all the readers and the churches to come
forward and stand up against these inhuman acts of
trafficking, which exists everywhere. Find that God
gifted talent inside yourself and stand up for God's-
justice.
At the end of our lives we will not be judged by how
many diplomas we have received, how much money
we have made or how many great things we have
done. We will be judged by “I was hungry and you gave
me to eat. I was naked and you clothed me. I was
homeless and you took mein. I cried for help and you hold
my hand. <
RECENT ACHIEVEMENT
Locals prevent 2 girls from being trafficked, three traffickers held at Hematabad Police Station.The local people saw two men and a woman standing
with two school girls. Their behavior made the other
people around, suspicious about them.
So they called the police suspecting human trafficking activity. Later when police came and inquired, the two girls said that these three have promised them to provide acting jobs in the movies and TV serials. The three accused committed that they were trafficking these girls for sexual exploitation and prostitution. The traffickers were taken in custody by the Hematabad Block police, charged with IPC of human trafficking Acts. The local court has extended the period of police custody of these traffickers for further interrogation.Previously, Jameli Sarkar was saved from being trafficked; she was lured with false marriage proposal. Once again PREVENTATIVE measure has saved two more innocent girls Puja & Lakshmi (named changed)from being trafficked, its due to our awareness campaigning's in school, villages that these people could identify the traffickers and take the right decision, in time and prevented these school girls from being trafficked. <
Case StudyCase Study Victim's name Prokash HasdaGuardian name Daud Mardi.Main accused are Benejita, Teresina (Aunty) and Raju Bargawala (Husband of Benejita).
The storyOne day Prokash aunt came to Daud Mardi's house and said that Prokash is growing up and he needs to get into some job or work. So she will take him with her to Haryana and let him work in her husband's hotel. So Daud Mardi agreed and gave permission to take Prokash, thinking that his grandson will soon start earning and will live an independent life. So Benejita took Prokash to Haryana along with her. But within few weeks Prokash called his Grandfather and started crying and said that he wants to come home, he neither likes the job nor the behaviors of his Aunt and uncle . So Daud Mardi called Benejita and requested her to bring Prokash back but she harshly replied that she does not have time to drop Prokash back.
So One day Daud Mardi went to Haryana, after reaching Benejita's house, he was informed that his grandson stole a sum of Rs 20000 (twenty thousand rupees) and fled from there the night before.
Daud Mardi was surprised to hear that because he knew that Prokash did not have that kind of mentality of stealing. He was a quite & obedient boy. As Daud Mardi was alone and an alien to Haryana he had no other options other than to return home quietly.
It is obvious that Benejita and her Husband has kept Prokash in some secret place and narrated a false story to Daud Mardi.

Mass awareness
Coordinator).
The event was greatly successful and very fruitful
because of the unbelievable turn of audiences came
to witness and learn about Human Trafficking. The
schools inspite of having board exams participated
with great enthusiasm. The women's SHG group
formed a team by taking women from different
groups; it was quite surprising to see that local men
also joined the women's SHG team. Hope we will
keep up with our work and do the necessary to spread
awareness and stop Human Trafficking <
The main motive of the drama competition was to visualize our case studies and let the audience and participants think about trafficking that is taking place right under their nose, which they fails to identify. <
TranslationNAME OF THE NEWSPAPER: UTTOR AR SARADINAnti Human Trafficking Program, Kaliyaganj, under the
good guidance of Diocese of Durgapur, CNI, organised
a drama competition. It was designed to make people
more aware about human trafficking organised on TH
Wednesday the 10 February, 2016 at Kaliyaganj Block,
District North & South Dinajpur. Four schools and
women SHG Groups took part in the competition. The
theme for the competition was Human Trafficking.
Through the drama competition many of aspects of
Human Trafficking were brought in-front of the
audiences. In this competition Guest who shared their
valuable thoughts were namely Mr. Arun Kumar Dey

To stop the trafficking of these displaced people and
other poor, marginalized people we have to help them
raise their standard of living. The most of the poor,
marginalized and displaced people are daily labours,
or hawkers or seasonal workers and are illiterate. So
what we are doing is acting as a link between the
government institutions and the poor people and
helping them to get the benefits of the different
government schemes.
These schemes are offered by the government at
different times of the year, for the betterment of these
people.
Kaji Sahanaj Banu (AHT - animator) has formed many
women SHG groups. In the past month she has
submitted documents of 10 women SHG groups in the
Minority cell office at Balurghat for minority loan of Rs
1, 50,000 to each group. This will raise the standard of
living of these people and will prevent migration to
some extent <
To all the readersHuman trafficking is the most inhuman act of humans. If the traffickers are to be blamed for performing these Inhuman act then we are to be blamed too for doing nothing to stop this crime. Diocese of Durgapur has raised its voice through AHT, program, now its your turn to take a stand against this crime. Please raise your voice because its the Lords Child who are suffering.
Those who trust in God will never perish but will receive eternal lifePlease identify the talent that THE LORD has blessed you with, and act according to your strengths. For David never doubted the lord and defeated the Giant “Goliath” not with any weapons but with the talent that he had. For God does big things through small instruments
Kaji Shanaj Banu (AHT - Animator) with the Women of SHG groups
We are not asking you to start a big movement, you all can start at individual level. Kids that you see on the roads and streets are at more risk of being trafficked or may fall into the trap of anti-social. At least you all can spend an hour educating them. Teaching them the value of life and importance of being loyal and good to others. Guide them, help them grow in a safe atmosphere. Give them your old cloths, blankets and other things which is of no use to you. The food that you waste at your house and restaurants, pack those food and give it to them. Help does not always mean financial help or to adopt, its your passion/ will to help. There are so many ways to help.
Don't just be a philosopher of change, be an instrument of change. Be a part of it.
Remember every child imitates what they see while growing, so the way you behave with them today will ensure the behavior you will get from them tomorrow <
